(a)
Interpretation:
The common name to the simple ester formed by a reaction between methanol and propionic acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The reaction between acid and alcohol gives an ester as a major product. The ester group is derived by a
(b)
Interpretation:
The common name to the simple ester formed by a reaction between methanol and butyric acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The reaction between acid and alcohol gives an ester as a major product. The ester group is derived by a carboxylic acid group in which the acidic hydrogen is replaced by an alkyl group. Esters are identified for their characteristic sweet smell.
(c)
Interpretation:
The common name to the simple ester formed by a reaction between methanol and lactic acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The reaction between acid and alcohol gives an ester as a major product. The ester group is derived by a carboxylic acid group in which the acidic hydrogen is replaced by an alkyl group. Esters are identified for their characteristic sweet smell.
